Confused with Doctor, am I pregnant or not?!?

I need to put this out here in the pregnancy world, because I'm so confused and have no idea what to think.  I have taken 8 HPTs and have all been positive.  I would be 7 weeks, positive on the contraception date (have not had sex since April 14th).  I went to OBGYN yesterday and had negative urine screen, doctor did the normal pal smear anyway and says I'm now spotting.  I've spotted brown here and there, nothing crazy.  Today and yesterday has a little redness in the blood and is light spotting only when I pee.  They took blood and called today and said my HCG level is 49, therefore it's a positive pregnancy.  I'm going again tomorrow for a blood draw which they said should be double the number and then they will schedule US for 2 weeks later.  My confidence in this pregnancy has left the building.  I'm trying to be positive, but I looked up HCG levels and at 7 weeks, I should be minimally in the 7000s.  Why are they dragging me along at this point?  I asked if they could just do an ultrasound to check to see if there is even a gestational sac at this point.  I've read about blighted ovum and have accepted that this pregnancy is just not taking properly, however I just want to know, it's so frustrating and such an emotional rollercoaster!!!  My concern as well is that I took the Clear Blue test this morning with the weeks indicator and it is only coming up positive for 1-2 weeks post ovulation when I know for a fact it's been 4 weeks.  That obviously counts for the low hormone level.  But is it really possible to even have a healthy pregnancy if my HCG level is 49 and I'm 7 weeks pregnant?!?  Unless this is the immaculate conception...I've not had sex since 4/14!!!  Any feedback/support is helpful at this point!!  Thanks for letting me vent!

    Sorry your going through this. I wish I has a positive story for you. But after you HCG comes back, if your OB still refuses to gibe you an ultrasound to confirm I would loo for a different doctor.

    Thanks for the feedback!!!  It's a bummer because I do like the doctor, but I don't like how they're handling this situation like it's so relaxed and nonchalant.

    I just talked to a friend in case anyone is reading this, and I guess this is very typical protocol for billing and coding purposes for insurance.  So even though it's not preferred, they are just doing what they're told by the insurance companies.  It also looks like this is a loss.  Best wishes to all of you first trimester mommies!!!   Xoxo

    if you got a negative urine and a 49 hcg that makes no sense. most hpt are positive for that number.

    *TW - loss*

    Just for another opinion, I had a loss at 5 weeks. I had been spotting for 1 full day before I called my doctor to schedule an appointment for the next day. During the night I started bleeding heavier. My doctor still did an US even though at 5 weeks you can't really see anything. I would recommend asking again. Especially if you're turning a HPT AND a blood test but not the doctors urine test. Something isn't right there...

    Not always.  Ones in doctors offices tend to be less fancy and may not be as sensitive as the pricier ones you get for at home.  Some are only sensitive to 50 which wouldn't turn in this circumstance.

    FX for good news.

    I had a negative urine test at the doctors office twice and several positive home tests. I insisted on blood tests and an ultrasound. I don't remember how far along I was, I want to say 6-7 weeks. Well, they finally determined that I was in fact pregnant after all and here I am rocking my 5 month old to sleep. I'll be following in hopes for good news!
